Herb Ritts
American · b. 1952
Ritts worked extensively in black and white gelatin silver photography, creating classical nude and figurative studies of male subjects that share Weber's sculptural approach to the human form and his merging of Americana with idealized beauty.
Robert Mapplethorpe
American · b. 1946
Mapplethorpe's black and white silver gelatin prints of nude male figures are celebrated for their classically composed, formally rigorous approach to the body, echoing Weber's treatment of nudity as timeless figure study within a carefully constructed environment.
George Platt Lynes
American · b. 1907
Lynes pioneered elegant black and white photographic studies of nude male figures in the American tradition, blending classical compositional sensibility with a candid intimacy that closely parallels Weber's rustic, unselfconscious approach to figurative photography.
